All aboard

Shipboard or at your port-of-call, you don't lack for photo opportunities when you're taking that long-anticipated cruise vacation. Trouble is, sometimes you don't have the time to walk the distance to get the ideal framing of that Aztec totem, or your son doing his patented cannonball into the ship's pool.

The Canon L-Series 70-300mm image-stabilized USM lens is just the ticket to get you out of jams like this. This zoom range has long been a favorite of photographers, suitable for gorgeous soft-background portraits and razor-sharp faraway subjects like birds and dynamic sports action. The designation "L-Series" means it's among Canon's top tier of lenses, so you know it'll be dirt-, dust-, and water-resistant in addition to providing an exceptional level of clarity, sharpness, and color fidelity.

World-class image stabilization technology and ultra-quiet focusing motors make this a great lens for video of faraway events as well. And being an EF lens, it's suitable for both APS-C and full-frame sensor digital cameras, as well as your old EOS 35mm film cameras.

Features

IS (Image Stabilizer): The
Image Stabilizer helps prevent blurred pictures during hand-held shooting at slow shutter speeds.
Using a tripod also stabilizes the image, however, depending upon the shooting
conditions, it may be better to turn off the Image Stabilizer. The image stabilizer gives the equivalent effect
of a shutter speed four stops faster. There are two IS modes:

Mode 1 provides stabilization in all directions, and is mainly effective
for shooting still subjects

Mode 2 compensates for vertical camera shake during following shots in a
horizontal direction, and compensates for horizontal camera shake during
following shots in a vertical direction.

UD Elements: Two Ultra-low Dispersion elements give you
improved image quality and reduced chromatic aberration. The lens incorporates a
floating focusing mechanism for sharpness from close up to infinity.

Fluorene Coating: A fluorene coating has been applied to the
lens' front and rear lens elements which allows dust to be wiped from the
outside of the lens more easily, compared with previous lenses.

Auto/Manual Focus Modes: To
shoot in autofocus mode, you must set the focus mode switch on the lens to AF.
To manually focus the camera, you must set the switch to MF and focus by
turning the focusing ring.

Zoom Lock: The zoom ring can be locked in
the widest position, convenient for carrying the camera using the shoulder strap
because the lens won't extend.

Lens Hood: The lens includes the ET-73B lens hood for
keeping unwanted light out of the lens, and for protecting the lens from rain,
snow, and dust. When mounted, the lens hood adds approximately 3" to the overall
length of the lens. When not using the lens hood, it can be reverse-mounted for
storage.

Optional Accessories (available
from Canon): The optional Canon Tripod Mount C (W II) lets you mount
the lens to the tripod instead of the camera. Due to the weight of the lens, the
tripod mount provides better balance, and allows you to easily use multiple
cameras with the lens. The lens has a 67mm filter thread diameter for attaching
filters to the front of the lens.

You get what you pay for

I got to use this recently at an Eagles practice, and I was not on the field, but my shots were bright and approaching perfect, I was shooting with a Canon 70D, and this lens got me shots I never thought I'd get sitting in the stadium seats of old Franklin Field during the Philadelphia Eagles practice. See my shots taken with this lens here, I did not make any edits, and did not shoot in Raw: http://zshooter.smugmug.com/Philadelphia-Eagles-Practice/

Pros:Lens is well constructed, solid, AF is quick, and the light it lets in is just great.
